DAN.K Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

These niggas lurk
In the cut when you broke
But they all
In ya face when they see you gettin' dough
These niggas lurkin'
And these bitches lurkin' too
Only thirsty when they see you over flowin' with the juice
These niggas lurk

I can't trust nobody no
I can't trust nobody no
I can't trust nobody no
I can't trust nobody no

Now a days I got my eyes open
Lookin' left
Lookin' right
All these fools in my face
They smiling acting very nice
I ain't got problems with 'em
But that don't mean that I ain't watching
Catch me slipping?
I formation
Pass it
That is not an option
Tryna take me out to eat at all these expensive places
When the check come
They use company cards as the payment
That ain't yo shit
Nigga that ain't yo shit
Reason when they think that I am done
I order mo' shit
That lobster for to go shit
Everybody wanna join my circle now
Oh my God
Don't nobody see me as an Urkle now
That's a square
That was what they use to call me
Last year
Bet they only love me long as all my money last yeah

These niggas lurk
In the cut when you broke
But they all
In ya face when they see you gettin' dough
These niggas lurkin'
And these bitches lurkin' too
Only thirsty when they see you over flowin' with the juice
These niggas lurk
I can't trust nobody no
I can't trust nobody no
I can't trust nobody no
I can't trust nobody no

I feel like I can’t trust my mama or my motherfuckin' friends
Could have bought an education but I instead I bought a Benz
And no college ain't for me
And no bitch this dick ain't free
If you wanna ride this totem
You got have to pay a fee
All my niggas is screaming the same thang
Free my bro in the chain gang
Groupie sluts chasin' after nuts
They’ll fuck you if got a lil fame
Fuck once, I ain't call her back
She ain't get a dime or my real name
You paid to fuck you a real lame
Paper over pussy that's real game
When you got the juice them hoes gone fuck you every time
All my niggas really ballin'
That shit fuckin' wit yo mind
All them diamonds in yo Rollie make it hard to tell the time
That's why my goonies in the cut
Ready to stick with that 9
These niggas lurk

In the cut when you broke
But they all
In ya face when they see you gettin' dough
These niggas lurkin'
And these bitches lurkin' too
Only thirsty when they see you over flowin' with the juice
These niggas lurk
I can't trust nobody no
I can't trust nobody no
I can't trust nobody no
I can't trust nobody no

Now a days I got my mouth closed
Listen left
Listen right
Let you niggas have the groupies, you can fuck 'em every night
Bitch I be too focused
Writing when I'm on the road
So when bitches come into my dressing with no clothes
I just be dogging 'em
I don't be callin' 'em
They just be fallin' in
I'm falling back
I don't got time to waste
They waste my time in fact
My money too
I'd rather you
Get in it and hit it
Up in your hotel and kill it
Then wake up in the morning
And find your wallet missing
My nigga listen
Fuck all the kissin'
I ain't got no time for none of that I'm on a mission
Keep the federals and IRS at distance
'Cause I know everytime I'm on a show and on a bill
These niggas lurking

In the cut when you broke
But they all
In ya face when they see you gettin' dough
These niggas lurkin'
And these bitches lurkin' too
Only thirsty when they see you over flowin' with the juice
These niggas lurk
I can't trust nobody no
I can't trust nobody no

I can't trust nobody no
I can't trust nobody no
